. . . Rumors swirled earlier this month that 39-year-old Page had been cast as Achilles, the legendary hero of the Trojan War - a prospect that seemingly also drew the ire of Musk.

Responding to the unconfirmed rumors on X, he wrote that the idea was 'one of the dumbest and twisted things I’ve ever heard.'

Even after it was announced that Page will portray the character Elpenor, Musk reposted a wildly offensive tweet that read, 'I'm not mocking her masculinity. I'm denying its existence.'

Elpenor, the youngest member of Odysseus’s crew, dies on Circe’s island after falling from a roof while drunk and left unburied - an event that later haunts Odysseus on his journey home.

While initially troubled by his death, Odysseus is later confronted by Elpenor as the first figure he encounters in the Underworld, a moment that becomes a moral turning point in the story.
